Artist's parents (after Dix)

Interesting and very skilful portraits. Like the idea of conveying experience and making the faces and hands larger to emphasis this. Mum and Dad look as though all the experiences in their lives have not always been happy ones, but then that is life, isn't it.

I'm quite sure they were not flattered by this one but then flattery isn't what it's about. The portrayal of their bodies as shrunken and worn with heads and hands and wrinkles being more important is very clever

Just found your gallery. If these paintings were any more alive, they'd speak. Utterly faultless, astonishingly skillful, and quite enough to put the rest of us off entirely! Because I don't see how work of this quality can be equalled. You refer to Stuart Pearson Wright elsewhere; a very good painter, but you are easily his equal. And I'd rather have one of your paintings than an Otto Dix, although if I could have the money the Dix would fetch, and your painting, I'd be deliriously happy. This is the best work I've seen in a long, long time. Please keep posting!
